カルトージオの天然記念物・トップ5

Cima di Déiva (707 m) is an inconspicuous peak that rises between the main branch of the Erro Valley and the valley of the Rio del Giovo, its tributary. It is not the highest peak in this buttress, but it gives its name to the small mountain subgroup to which it belongs. The northern portion of the subgroup, near Sassello, is home to the Déiva State Forest.

In this area the Calanchi offer wonderful views.

In the middle of downtown Acqui Terme, Piazza Bollente is probably the main attraction of the beautiful city. Here stands the small Greek fountain temple, Fontana della Bollente, built in 1879, from which 74.5 degree hot, sulphurous water gushes. In addition to sulphur, it also contains iodine, salt and bromine and is healing for the respiratory tract and bloodstream.

La Bollente is an elegant octagonal-shaped shrine-temple inaugurated in 1879 in the square of the same name. This structure of eclectic language highlights a thermal spring from which sulphurous-salty-bromine-iodine water flows at a temperature of 74.5°. A local legend reports the custom of the city of Acqui of immersing newborn children for a few moments in the Bollente spring: whoever survives, according to the popular tale, is named "sgaiento", that is, scalded. Known and used since Roman times, the Bollente spring is mainly used in Acqui's health facilities. Next to the Bollente you can also see the Civic Tower built in 1763 on the foundations of a gate of the ancient city wall dating back to the era of the Municipalities.
